I’m talking about Jesus or does Paul take precedence - and how can Gal undermine Revelations the last book?
There is nothing wrong with Paul, Jesus or Revelations. The problem is with misinterpreting God's word. If you want to keep the law of circumcision, you need to keep every other law as well. You can't. There is no temple or tabernacle and no ark of the covenant.

There is a reason that God permitted Rome to destroy the Jewish temple. Jesus fulfilled the Old Covenant law completely. He did this as the "Last Adam." Now that OT law has been replaced with the New Covenant. I suggest that you focus on that and not on the obsolete law given through Moses. Grace and Truth came through Lord Jesus. Or do you reject the words of John also?

That doesn’t interact with what I said and is a moot point because it is the same thing. The same God who gave His law to Moses also sent Jesus in fulfillment of the promise to turn us from our wickedness in disobedience to it (Acts 3:25-26), so there is no disagreement. In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and the Mosaic Law was how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel message. Jesus also set a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to the Mosaic Law, and as his followers we are told to follow his example (1 Peter 2:21-22) and that those who are in Christ are obligated to walk in the same way that he walked (1 John 2:6). So Christ spent his ministry teaching his followers to obey the Mosaic Law by word and by example and the Law of Christ is not other than or contrary to anything that Christ taught.
Obviously you reject the teachings of Paul and the writer to the Hebrews. You also ignore the ruling of Peter with respect to Gentiles and the Law. So what do you believe? That you are saved by law keeping? Good luck with that. You can't. Animal sacrifices have been abolished - along with the rest of the Law of Moses.

It amazes me that Christians (if you are one) can get so mixed up on an issue so basic. The early church had an excuse. The gentiles had no history of the Law of Moses, so when the Judaisers came, the Gentile believers were confused. We have the Bible in all its fullness. All these disputes were settled in the first few years of the church. But some have to argue still.

If you are trusting in the Law to save you, then you are going to hell. I don't want to be offensive, but you need to know the truth for your own sake. If you can keep the law to the standard that God requires, you are unique apart from One other. His name is Jesus. I have it on good authority that you are not Him. You have not kept the Law of Moses to perfection either.

Read Acts 15 for the truth about Gentiles and the Law of Moses.

Well, they believe 613 laws are written on their heart...
That would be funny if it was not so pathetic. How can the Law be obeyed when there is no animal sacrifice? There is no priesthood, no Levites, no temple, no physical ark of the covenant, no physical mercy seat........ and so on and so forth.
